Abstract
Globalization has had progress and despairs, and has also opened the door to heated debates. The trend has been to globalize property rights. With this comes the sense that duties to civil society in the way of harm prevention, justice, and protection of the natural environment are easily side-stepped. The Bhopal Disaster of 1984 remains the world’s worst industrial disaster and worth revisiting so as to understand the culture of corporate behavior in disclaiming and side-stepping certain vital social responsibilities. This paper revisits the Bhopal Disaster and highlights elements that ought to keep us vigilant about the path globalization takes.
